Where can I purchase a high frequency step-up transformer

AI Thread Summary
A user is seeking a high-frequency step-up transformer with specific characteristics for plasma generation, including a 1:80 step-up ratio and operational frequency of 1MHz. They are struggling to find a suitable ferrite rod that meets the required dimensions and specifications for winding. Suggestions for potential suppliers include All-Tronics and Newark, with references to Ferroxcube for additional options. The user has contacted a company for clarification but has yet to receive a response. The search for alternatives continues as they await further information.

I need a transformer with the following characteristics that can operate at a frequency of 1MHz.

Step-up ratio= 1:80
Primary L=1.55uH
Secondary L=10.65mH
Mutual Inductance= 62.5uH

Any suggestions on what US companies might carry this kind of product?

Welcome to the PF.

80:1 at 1MHz is potentially going to be difficult to achieve. Can you say something about the application? What is your target spec for Cww (winding-to-winding capacitance)?

Thank you berkeman,
I am trying to replicate a transformer in a paper for plasma generation. The paper describes the transformer as a 10mm diameter ferrite rod with 5(.3mm):400(.15mm) windings of copper wire.
Loss Resistance= 26 ohm
Self Capacitance=3.55pF

I've had no luck finding a ferrite rod with the right shape and size. Hardly any have been above 8mm in diameter, and none have been more than 25mm long, too short to fit the number of windings required. This is why I am trying to find an equivalent transformer.

is this guy's offering the right flavor?

I contacted this company about a week ago but never received a response. I called again and sent another email just now. It seems to be what I need, but I won't know for sure until I can talk with their engineers. I will keep the thread updated, and in the mean time I will continue to search for alternatives.
 
Newark carries the Ferroxcube and they'll answer their phone.

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'
Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
